I was hoping to make the meet with the SA tonight, but the weather and no garage space is preventing me from finishing it

Also, heads up for anyone planning to buy parts soon, Advance Auto Parts is running a good online special that ends today: 20% off, free shipping over $75, and with a $100 purchase you get $50 towards an additional $100 online purchase before 11 February 2013.

Anyone going tonight have a FB sunroof they are willing to part with?

I have very strict requirements, it can be any color and condition, but it has to stop water from entering into the car

January 2013 OGTA 12A Count

1 FB = 1 12A (Mike)
1 FC = .5 12A's (Brett)
1 FD = .333 12A's (Jeremy)
2 FE's = .25 12A's (Holly/Kristy, Tommy)

4 Boingers = 0 12A's (Geraldo, Fred/Marco, Donnie, Ben)

1 Reindeer Pen with a gimpy arm = priceless

Total 12A count = 2.083

Brett, you forgot the two SAs I had in my pocket.

As I was sitting at the intersection to get on 85S a car passed me and I thought, "Nice, an FD!" Then I laughed at myself. Thanks, Jeremy, for bringing me that moment of increased joy

It was good finally making it back to a meet and seeing everyone.

Holly, tell your neighbor to keep enjoying the research, and that I do have a nice widebody candidate for him

Mike, keep me posted.

I would need to see a photo of the reindeer pen in the hands of a Shrinking Kilt waitress to validate Holly's last calculation.

Actually that's not true Marco. Mike looks a lot younger than you.

So are there any pictures for the 1-1-13 OGTA meeting?

Just kidding about the age thing Marco, you don't look a day older than Mike.

And while I generally don't have a problem with Asians, when it comes to blond students I'm constantly getting them mixed up.

Hey Alex, that's Ace's old FB!

Have a 1983 GSL. Would love to get it going again. Anyone got a good mechanic in Va - preferably the Richmond area?

You live in Mechanicsville, and you can't find a mechanic? That's a serious problem.

Seriously, chances are you'll need to do the work yourself, competent rotary mechanics who aren't doing something else for a living are hard to find.

Post pictures of your car and the situation, we can probably do a remote diagnosis and having it running over the weekend.
